My Project

Who likes to read sitting on a metal chair or cold floor? Not I! As a teacher it is my goal to not only immerse my students in books, but to make them life long readers. Readers who are excited to grab a book get comfy, loose track of time and read! But how can I do that if they don't have a comfy and cozy place to read? These items will help build the excitement in our classroom! The rug and throw pillow will bring joy when they see they can get cozy on the floor to read and not at their desk! What about all the characters we love in book sitting next to us! These plush and finger puppet can help set the mood when reading and bring it alive for them!
